Why has Firefox Sync stopped working?

Over the past three days, I've been getting an error saying "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." It retries, or I try it myself, and it fails. Nothing has changed on my system in the past few days. My upgrade to FF4 was weeks ago so that's not the problem.

I looked at the JSON backups, and they are all empty, which is when I realized this has escalated from a serious inconvenience to a full-blown disaster.

    Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    FIX: 
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
    If that doesnt pass,
    Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

    Cellular data is a feature from your phone carrier.  Have you contacted them to resolve your issue.

  • Why has Lighting Effects stopped working in CS6 32 bit

    I have just upgraded my graphics card and Lighting Effects has stopped working in 32 bit CS6.  It never worked in 64 bit but it was OK in 32 bit until now.  I press the effect and nothing happens.  Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    If you revert the driver update do you get the Lighting Effects menu back? What is your OS, video card, and driver version? Do you have 13.0 or 13.1?
    regards,

  • Firefox sync stopped working for me after I reset the password for the Sync account,it's like all my bookmarks disappeared

    I reinstalled my OS,and after resetting my sync password it seems that all my bookmarks,logins etc. are gone from my sync account.What use to take seconds (for my bookmarks to appear in my bookmarks tab) isn't working now after several hours of wait.Is there a way to get the data back, and now I didn't have another device paired :(

    You should never reset the recovery key.<br />
    Doing that will remove (reset) all data on the sync server because that key is used to encrypt the data locally before uploading it to the Sync server.<br />
    Resetting or requesting a new password for your sync account shouldn't affect the data that is stored on the sync server, but resetting the sync key will.<br />
    You should always backup your sync key to prevent such issues.

  • Why has bbc iplayer stopped working on OS 10.5.8

    My mac mini has stopped downloads of the latest iplayer and firefox versions sayng that it it not compatible with the software.  The os check says that there is no softwaqre update available.  Ideas please.

    This is so annoying!
    I'm running an intel iMac with OS X v10.5.8.
    I don't really want to upgrade the OS to a later version because I've got all my software set up the way I need it.
    I don't want to risk messing it all up and having to reinstall it all or something.
    Is there no way of converting the app to run on older OS versions? That would be handy.

  • Why do Firefox buttons stop working?

    A few times each day, buttons like the close, minimize, and cascade buttons top working, and I can't switch tabs. When this happens I have to use the Firefox button and go to exit. The Firefox process remains running, so I have to exit it via task manager. Why does it do this?

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Why has my Pandora stopped working and is asking for Adobe Flash V 10 or better

    When trying to access my Pandora Music account, it will not load, asks for Adobe Flash v10 or better. It has been working in the past but suddenly puked. I have been trying to download the latest flash player and it seems to download ok but times out on the upload, gets to 25-30% and loses connection. And I hate to say this but I have Hughes Net satellite. But like I said it worked before. As usual Hughes says that there is not a problem with their equipment. Speed tests have been all over the place, in other words not very consistent . I just had the Hughes Tech here at the house and he pretty much did everything that I have done with their customer service. And like I said everything has slowed down drastically.

    The Flash Player version you need is currently 16.0.0.305 and is only 15 MB which should take very little time to download. Moreover, there is nothing to upload, so it's not clear where you're getting the installer from. You should get it only from Adobe, such as this link. Download the installer file and run it.

  • Why has iTunes Radio stopped working?

    So this fun little bit of trivia has not been answered in these forums or on the interwebs. As of 3 weeks ago, when I go to play any station on iTunes Radio, my own or the defaults, the song info will populate but it just sits there as if it's bufferring. It never plays. I've done the basic shut down/restart, rest PRam, trashed iTunes prefs, nothing works. Is anybody else having this issue? Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.
    iTunes 11.1.4

    It seems to want to work, however it just sits there trying to buffer. It's been "buffering" for about 30 min now. Here's a screenshot

  • Why has itunes match stopped working

    i have rest my phone and restored it and still nothing i cannot find anythiing on the threads that work please help.

    I just had a 1 hour talk with applecare about this.  I was esclated through several levels. 
    They are not reporting an issue with the iTunes Match service but I can nolonger add a device to iTunes match and they have no idea why.
    I still have an open ticket.  But no known resolution... So I am betting it is a server side issue that Apple is not reporting.
